The National Football League (NFL) ends with the Super Bowl, the final game of every season. After a successful Super Bowl LIX this year, the dates have been announced for the 2026 roundup, and the fans cannot keep calm. With all eyes fixated on the Halftime show headliner, the Internet had a mixed reaction after Bad Bunny took away the spotlight.
Weeks after the Bad Bunny debacle, the NFL announced that Sting, the ‘Every Breath You Take’ singer, will perform at a Super Bowl-branded concert. Scheduled two days before the Super Bowl kicks off, the Englishman will woo the fans in San Francisco.
Sting Super Bowl Concert: Date, venue, tickets
Set to take place on February 6, Sting will perform at the Palace of Fine Arts, the NFL’s hospitality provider. It would take place two days ahead of the Super Bowl Halftime show 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Sting’s set will be a feature of the Super Bowl LX Studio 60 event. Scheduled for Friday, it has been described as a “weekend of unforgettable music entertainment.” While complete details of the schedule are yet to be announced, the festivities will continue another day on February 7. For now, there are no performers revealed for night 2, but several speculations hint at a Chris Stapleton performance at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. The tickets for Sting’s show start at $750 per person.
This isn’t the first time Sting has lent his voice to the Super Bowl. In 2003, he headlined the Halftime show alongside Shania Twain and No Doubt.
Super Bowl Halftime Show 2026: Bad Bunny backlash
After the Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny was chosen as the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2026 headliner, a bunch of discussion has erupted on social media. Receiving backlash for his Spanish-language performance from political faces like Kristi Noem, and US President Donald Trump, himself, the MAGA demanded an English concert.
This also comes after Bad Bunny’s public support of immigration reform, Puerto Rican independence, and outspoken criticism of Trump-era ICE tactics. The February show will mark the first fully Spanish-language headliner in Super Bowl history.
